The visit, scheduled until May 1, is taking place at the invitation of Amrit Bahadur Rai, and is expected to focus on strengthening bilateral relations and exploring areas of mutual interest between the two countries.
High-Level Meetings Scheduled
According to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Nepal, Xavier will hold bilateral talks with Foreign Secretary Rai on Baisakh 17 (April 30).
She is also scheduled to pay a courtesy call on Foreign Minister Shishir Khanal on the same day.
